What is AWS Trusted Advisor?

AWS Trusted Advisor is an online tool designed to help users optimize their AWS environment by providing real-time guidance to configure resources according to best practices. It offers insights across various categories such as cost optimization, performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits. This tool analyzes your AWS account and provides recommendations that can help improve your infrastructure reliability, efficiency, and security posture. The focus on best practices means that Trusted Advisor can identify areas where users might be overprovisioning resources, suggest ways to save on costs, and enhance overall system performance and security.

This supportive role is what makes AWS Trusted Advisor particularly valuable for organizations looking to maximize their use of AWS services while minimizing risks and costs associated with misconfigured or underutilized resources.
